Your cover comes with screws that are used to fasten the receiving end of the strap
locks. Simply align the cover on the spa and stretch out the straps until they are
tight. Mark the location of the strap receptacles, then fasten them to the spa skirt
with the screws supplied.
Winterizing
Since ‘freeze damage’ is not covered under the Limited Warranty, we recom-
mend contacting and having a spa professional prepare your spa for winterizing
protection.
If you live in a climate where winter temperatures are below freezing
and power to the spa will be disconnected, follow these procedures for draining:
Winterizing guidelines:
1. Add an algaecide to the water and run pumps for half an hour to evenly
disperse algaecide.
2. Turn off power to the unit at the circuit breaker.
3. Drain the spa by attaching a garden hose to the open the drain valve. After
the spa is empty, remove the hose and leave the drain valve open.
4. For freeze protection – Access motor area by removing the outer front panels
to the right and left of the controller panel and unscrew the plumbing collars
from the pumps. Leave union couplings disconnected. Vacuum out lines with
a wet/dry shop vacuum.
5. Soak up any excess water that drains from motors and associated plumbing
with a towel. Keep water and debris out by covering with a rigid spa cover.
6. Before using the spa again, reattach pump couplings, close drain valve, and
review startup instructions.
If the spa is to be used during the winter, save energy by turning the temperature
down and keeping the spa covered. If the spa reaches freezing temperatures, the
main pumps will automatically turn on to circulate the water.
Note: Clearwater Spas utilizes manufacturing methods that make winterization
less than ideal for handling cold weather as it creates a risk of freeze damage. It is
recommended by Clearwater that the spa be run in Rest Mode as opposed to
being winterized. Rest Mode and the Low Range heat setting are the best
methods to ensure your spa remains functional and undamaged through the
winter months.
